24 | Yoga for Eye Sight Improvementcept of Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy where we understandthat eye is not an isolated organ in the whole system.Our body, mind are all one single unit. When the mind is goingthrough a very stressful period, the eye problems can bea major issue. Therefore when we do Yoga Therapy, it is notenough if you just do local eye practice. Therefore let us seehow Yoga practices help.One is basically the relaxation, Deep relaxation of the eyeswhich is achieved through deep relaxation at the mind bodycompelx, Shavasana relaxation techniques, breathing techniquesetc., which is also very important. When we teach YogicPractices to our children with the short sight, we includePranayama, Shavasana, QRT, DRT etc., which we are seeingin the practices. In addition to that, we also use general staminabuilding practices in which the eye also becomes a partof the whole practice which is the general relaxation, generalstamina building. But locally, with the eye we have understoodwhat is very important is lots and lots of local relaxation to theinternal eye muscles as well as external eye muscles. Thereforedoing palming, winking, blinking etc.; is very importantcomponent. During Trataka practice, the focusing on the lampor the finger tip etc. has to be done intensely, sharp focusingwithout blinking the eyes even the tears may come out of theeyes. You should hold the focusing or dharana as it is saidin technical language for quite a duration of time allowing thetears to come out. How is that going to help the eyes?

Wewant to focus, we want to intensely strain the eye but consciously,wantingly, voluntarily and after that give very deeprest. A stimulation, activation, focusing and intense rest forthe muscles. For example say if you want to relax the fingers,what I would say? Hold the hand on the other hand Relaxyour fingers, relax your fingers. To some extent the tightnessof the fingers will reduce. But if I ask you to make a fist,tighten your fingers and then relax continue that process ofrelaxation consciously into deeper and deeper and deeper rest,then the hands can relax much deeper. This is the principleof stimulation followed by deeper and deeper and deeper restabout which you will understand as you practice which makesthe eye muscles stronger. Eye muscle stamina improves. Thesharpening of the ability of the eye as well as to hold on to nearwork for longer duration can increase. Stamina building effectcan come which in Sanskrit is called titeeksha.Yoga in Education for Total Personality Development SERIES - 2
